East coast shark oddity
The UK reporting:
Twitter user @stuart appears to have started the shark discussion by tweeting a screenshot from the Ocearch shark tracker and saying: “sharks are amassing on the east coast.”
They added: “I occasionally log in to check that the nearest Great White is at least 2000 miles away.”
The Twitter user was then shocked to be notified of around 100 sharks very close to the East Coast.
One person replied: “Is this normal? Or could this be a sign of a natural disaster? Or am I overthinking this?”

Old newspapers predictions were wrong on Krampus ‘going out of style’
We took some time to look back in history as to how often newspapers of America and the world talked about Krampus during Christmas..
It was a mixture of mentions, especially tied to St. Nicholas day, and also American reporting on the Austrian tradition.
A few opinion based snippets talked about how harmful Krampus was to the mind of a child and how fear should be left out of the season..
In 1935, an AP news report circulated in various city news rags.. this cutout comes from the Pittsburgh POST-GAZETT on December 25, 1935: The devilish Santa was losing is popularity, fake news of the day reported..
The days of the unpleasant Santa were numbered, the Associated Press reported in 1935–children were so scared they would tremble for days. Authorities condemned him. And his pagan tradition had no place in the season of goodwill, the AP concluded.
Fast forward to today: Krampus has never been more popular..

Happy #Krampusnacht: Keeping the Krampus in Christmas
Krampusnacht. The Feast of St. Nicholas is celebrated in parts of Europe on 6 December.
Some think Halloween is the most paranormal time of the year!!! Tradition tells us, it just begins on Samhain with the ultimate culmination at Christmas..
x x x
On the preceding evening of 5 December, Krampus Night or Krampusnacht, the wicked hairy devil appears on the streets. Sometimes accompanying St. Nicholas and sometimes on his own, Krampus visits homes and businesses.
The paranormal should be kept in the season!!
Beginning around Halloween, the most paranormal time of year evokes memories from ancient times, pagan festivals, and as we know today, Krampusnacht.
St. Nick is the patron saint of kids. Krampus is a force children don’t want to deal with.. with whips and punishments!
The history of Krampus dates back much further than just modern Christianity and movie theater scripts.
The notion of a Christmas demon has been around for some time.
And the parables of Christmas showcase how this time of year is a dark and bleak moment before the rebirth and rise of the sun, the solstice where the days begin to lengthen again.. When the ‘son’ is born.Some believe Krampus is a pagan character who eventually transformed into the modern Christian version of the devil himself. Pagans today celebrate Krampus with runs, modern festivals, and homages to the night air as it descends over the land.
Krampus has been the subject of widespread European attention for centuries. Over the past few years he has regained some official authority as the pagan beast of the holiday season because of his reemergence in pop culture and movies that are named after him.
In some European lure, St. Nicholas and Krampus travel together, judging children as they meet them.
Even when I was a child in Holy Spirit School in Mt. Carmel, we celebrated St. Nicholas day with style: Kids would put their shoes in the hallway until they heard bells, knowing that St. Nick stopped by and gave candy. IF there was coal? ….a whole other story.
So today.. as Krampus looms after nightfall, lock up your house tight and hope you’ll hear the bells of St. Nick instead of the chains of the one..the only…Krampus.

‘This is not going to be good’: Moderna CEO on what scientists are telling him about the omicron coronavirus variant
CEO Stéphane Bancel has left no doubt whether he’s taking a glass half-full or half-empty approach to the emergence of the new omicron coronavirus variant.
He told the Financial Times there’s no world where current vaccines are as effective as they have been against the delta variant. And he suggested the drop-off could be significant.
“I think it’s going to be a material drop. I just don’t know how much because we need to wait for the data. But all the scientists I’ve talked to . . . are like, ‘This is not going to be good’.

The numbers: Did we just see the end of Black Friday?
It is too early to stick a fork in it, but things sure seemed quiet this year.
Despite previous years’ fights and retail mayhem, we went silent in 2021.. yes the pandemic. We know. But even with that said, a semblance of a return to “normal” tried to occur before the omicron outbreak started in South Africa.. and even with that, these numbers:
- Traffic at retail stores on Black Friday dropped 28.3% compared with 2019 levels, according to preliminary data from Sensormatic Solutions.
- Traffic was up 47.5% compared with year-ago levels, Sensormatic said.
- “It’s clear shoppers are shopping earlier this season, just as they did last season,” said Brian Field, senior director of global retail consulting at Sensormatic.
- Online, retailers rang up $8.9 billion in sales on Black Friday, down from the record of about $9 billion spent on the Friday after Thanksgiving a year earlier, according to data from Adobe Analytics.
Retail watchers say that the “consumers,” as they refer to the huddled massive of bargain basement shoppers, are starting to browse earlier.. online retail is going to soon far outweigh the brick and mortar..
Stores being closed had an impact as well..
On Thanksgiving day, visits to brick-and-mortar stores cratered 90.4% from 2019 levels, Sensormatic found. Retailers including Target, Walmart and Best Buy opted to keep their doors closed to customers on the holiday. Target has said it will be a permanent shift.

30 years ago: The night the Undertaker beat Hulk Hogan
A few days ago, wrestling legend Ric Flair revealed that Hulk Hogan’s health was deteriorating..
So we stroll back to his heyday: Survivor Series 1991, the night when the Undertaker stripped Hulkster of his WWF title belt.. WITH THE HELP OF COURSE OF FLAIR
When you watch the Undertaker’s final tombstone move, you can also see it could be the fakest wrestling finishing move in the history of TV.. such a bad angle for a badly sold moment!
But it also led to tears among the youngest in the audience!
Children in the arena and at home were suddenly move to weep: Their hero was broken .. all the prayers and vitamins didn’t help..
So that, coupled with Vince McMahon’s desire to establish more than its usual 4 pay per views a year, led to THIS TUESDAY IN TEXAS just a few days later when Hogan drove the scary Undertaker back to hell.. kind of.. The president, “Jack Tunney,” was able to stop the match when Hogan used the Undertaker’s urn ashes against him.. and the title was put up for grabs at the Royal Rumble a month later.
A brilliant early Vince McMahon move to build and keep interest..

Omicron panic takes over planet
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said that the UK must take “targeted and proportionate measures now” amid concerns over the new Omicron Covid-19 variant.
“I must stress this: As always, with a new variant, there are many things we just cannot know at this early stage. Our scientists are learning more hour by hour. It does appear that Omicron spreads very rapidly and can be spread between people who are double vaccinated. There is also a very extensive mutation, which means it diverges quite significantly from previous configurations of the virus, and as a result, it might at least in part reduce the protection of our vaccines over time,” Johnson said in a press conference.
Two cases of the variant have been detected in the UK so far.
Johnson also announced additional measures:
“We’re not going to stop people traveling. But we will require anyone who enters the UK to take a PCR test by the end of the second day after their arrival and to self-isolate until they have a negative result,” Johnson said. “…In addition to the measures we’re already taking to locate those who have been in countries of concern over the last 10 days, we will require all contacts of those who test positive with a suspected case of Omicron to self-isolate for 10 days regardless of your vaccination status.”
The prime minister said his country will also “boost the booster campaign” in an effort to get as many people possible their vaccine booster shot.
